I'm buying a used cube + upgrade, and would like to be able to use the cube
 while I wait (!) for the upgrade to arrive.  I have a 105 Meg SCSI Connor drive in
 an external enclosure hanging around, and I wondered if I can build a partial
 1.0 release on it (the cube has only a 40 Meg swap disk - _no optical_ :-(  
 - it was on a network before) for use until the 040 and 2.0 arrive (on another 105 
Meg drive).  

Has anybody done this before?  

Is a "disktab" the animal I need to get things going?
Does anyone have a disktab for a Connor drive?  The model number
 is:CP-3100, its got 4 disks, 8 heads, 1150 TPI, 204,864 Blocks (at 512 Bytes 
each), and 33 available sectors per track (34 physical). (Hope that helps...:-)  

I've never done this before, and I'm not at all versed in UNIX  - I know only that
 its nothing at all like setting up a DOS or OS/2 PC.

Any help is appreciated, please respond by e-mail.
